The next day was filled with even more surprises. The guy Cruz was an Elite as well and he just came off of rotation. A new group was sent out to help guard the walls as the others come back in to rest. Conner looks over to my side to see Cruz making himself comfortable... right next to me.
The other guys are still sending me 'looks' and 'knowing smirks' so I was left in a great mood as class started. Several hours later, I drag myself to the Mess Hall and grab a tray. Conner silently follows as Cruz tells me story after story but if I had to be honest, I stopped listening on the first one.
After getting my food, I walk to our normal table and sit down. Cruz slides up next to me as Conner sits down on my other side with confusion. Thane steps up to the table and drops his tray, startling all of us as he slowly lowers himself into the seat, glaring at Cruz.
